Unpolitely replying to myself to point out that...

... this is of course not only particularly "favourable" but also particularly
"stupid" :-).I should have pointed out this more clearly. It is just a (favourable,
indeed) snippet demonstrating that when *no* chars are really inserted, the newest
part of the code, the "in-place" part, has a -low- overhead if compared with the
general code currently present in the mainline.

Anyway, more benchmarks to come...

Paolo.
